You are safe as long as its within 5 within minutes,My heli almost kept going when the battery was low the wind kept taking it further away across the yard 200ft.
I ran closer to it to get control of it and land the heli.
Consider the higher you go the more chance it can have interference from various devices.
Spektrum radio would be nice.
Thanks for all the info people. I have today not working so I can try it outdoors at last.
I have bought (from HongKong mainly) two of nearly every part that I can think of to get her up again in case of a mishap - so I should be OK now.
But my Xtreme battery STILL hasn't arrived from Miracle-mart.[sm=confused.gif] The site says it was shipped - and the spare parts which I ordered from another site in HongKong a day later have already arrived here. I will give them another day - then email them!
Thanks again all.

O yes, Ms Darla - someone placed a link to a site that has them in [link=http://www.discountrctoys.com/_e/4_Channel_Helicopters/product/EK1H-E515A/Esky_Big_Lama_2_4GHz_RC_Remote_Control_Helicopter_ LiPo_RTF.htm]2.4gHz[/link] - if you have a big crash it may be worth changing then! I see they are out of stock now, so don't crash until after the Esky factory opens in mid Feb
